Will JB Sing At Michael Jackson Tribute?

Justin Bieber Michael Jackson

Justin’s already paid tribute to the King of Pop on Twitter, but will he hit the stage for a song?

Fans everywhere are celebrating the life of the late Michael Jackson this week, with the opening of the The Immortal World TourJustin Bieber tweeted his support for MJ, and we’re wondering if he will make a guest appearance on the tribute tour!

“Honoring the greatest @michaeljackson this week. He set the bar for all of us. #MJFOREVER,” Justinwrote on Jan. 23.

The tour opens at the Staples Center in Los Angeles on Jan. 27, and we have a feeling that Justin may perform to pay tribute to one of the biggest names in music. Other celebrities like Amber Riley and Harry Shum Jr. from Glee are also honoring MJ this week by attending the Grauman’s Chinese Theatre Hand and Foot ceremony, where Michael’s children will be cementing his footprint among the ranks of Hollywood’s greatest performers.

Do YOU think Justin will make an appearance at either one of these of these legendary events, HollywoodLifers?

TORONTO – He’s not saving lives, but Justin Bieber has caused a dramatic rise in new Canadian organ donor registrations.

The Trillium Gift of Life Network on Tuesday reported it has been deluged with over 1000 new online registrations since last Thursday.

That’s when a 20 year-old Ottawa woman, Helene Campbell, made a personal plea via Twitter to raise the number of organ donors as she awaits a lung transplant in Toronto.

Then on Saturday, Bieber responded to Campbell’s request by retweeting her plea to his 16 million followers.

That tally then crossed the 1000 new online donor registration mark early Tuesday.

The Road to Bieber Fever

Whether you love or despise 17-year-old international pop star Justin Bieber, you have his mom to thank (or blame) for thrusting him into the spotlight five years ago this month.

On Jan. 19, 2007, Pattie Mallett uploaded a video of her son performing Ne-Yo’s “So Sick” in Stratford, Ontario to Bieber’s YouTube channel — kidrauhl.

Rap star Usher signed Bieber to a record label the following year in 2008. Since then, Bieber has taken the social media world by storm, attracting millions of followers across many networks. Bieber has 16.7 million Twitter followers and 39.4 million Facebook “Likes” and he’s just warming up.

Google Chrome recently chronicled Bieber’s impressive reach and presence on Google and YouTube in an ad below. The YouTube-star-turned-mega-celebrity most recently made a splash at the Consumer Electronics Show where he endorsed a gadget for robotic toys company TOSY.

‘I understand Justin Bieber’s fame’

The former Saved by the Bell actress wore a Justin Bieber T-shirt to the Horrible Bosses premiere last year after Bieber was seen wearing a T-shirt with her image to Canada’s MuchMusic Awards.

Asked if she had received any threatening messages from Bieber’s notoriously protective fans, Thiessen insisted that she is no competition to his legions of supporters.

“Not that I could see on my Twitter page or Facebook. Believe me, girls, he’s way too young for me, so don’t worry! I’ve never met him, but I do understand to a degree what his life is like right now, as a recognizable teen star,” she told Parade.

Thiessen went on to say that she feels fortunate to have made it through the world of teen stardom, adding: “The business is ever-changing, and I don’t think it’s easy for any kid. Thank God I [survived]. Not every story is that way.”

The White Collar star welcomed daughter Harper Renn in June 2010 with husband Brady Smith.

Thiessen has commented that Harper is no longer a baby and said that the little girl has reached many milestones in recent months.

JB Rebuild Hometown Skate Park

Justin Bieber is back to giving to his hometown of Stratford, Ontario by helping to raise money to rebuild the local skateboarding park.

According to the Hollywood Reporter the 17 year old had autographed a red 2012 Hyundai Genesis Coupe 2.0 which was donated by the Hyundai dealership owner Frank Sandola.  The car will be put on eBay beginning on January 20 for 10 days.  The money that will be raised from the sale of the car on eBay will help improve a 12 year old local skateboard and BMX bike park in Stratford.  As all fans know Bieber is an avid skateboarder and is a great philanthropist.  This also is not the first time the pop star has given back to his hometown, last year the Under the Mistletoe singer donated $10,000 to Stratford House of Blessing which is a local food bank.  It was the same food bank he and his mother went to when they could not afford a meal.

Bieber’s choice for the proceeds to go toward cleaning and updating the local skate park. Sandola is donating the car to the cause, which retails for approximately $35,000.  Frank Sandola, owner of Stratford Hyundai, says he hatched this plan when he sold a car to Bieber’s grandmother.  What do you think of Justin’s generous streak?

JB Perform UNICEF Concert

UNICEF ambassador Selena Gomez is ready to wow audiences with her benefit concert at the House of Blues in West Hollywood, Calif. tonight, and boyfriend Justin Bieber is rumored to be joining her on stage.

Hollywood Life source said, “Justin will be a surprise guest at Selena’s concert. UNICEF is really important to Selena and Justin knows this.”

Selena has been an active ambassador for UNICEF for the last two years, traveling to Ghana and Chile and bringing awareness about the program’s focus issues. Last March, she helped launch Celebrity Tap, which raised funds to help UNICEF provide water and sanitation programs in Togo, the Central African Republic and Vietnam.

This won’t be the first time Justin has supported one of Selena’s endeavors. The Canadian superstar showed up at the kick-off of his leading lady’s 2011 summer tour, performing a mash-up of ‘Favorite Girl’ and Justin Timberlake‘s ‘Cry Me a River.’

JB in “Fear” Remake?

In the beginning of hisactingcareer Mark Wahlberg appeared in “Renaissance Man” and “BasketballDiaries,” before getting his big break in “Fear,” opposite Reese Witherspoon. Now that Wahlberg is a big star, he startedworkingwith Justin Bieber, looking for the young singer to possibly remake one of his films.

We’ve been hearing that Bieber might get involved in “BasketballDiaries,” but now Movieweb has learned that the singer is thinking about acquiring the rights to “Fear” in order to remake it and star in it.

I just checked thecalendar, it’s not April Fools Day, so I’m going to take this as a rumor. But if this is true, it’s a bit ridiculous. Bieber is 17-years-old, while Wahlberg was 25 at the time he made “Fear.” And Wahlberg actually looked intimidating. The only way this can work is for the new remake to be PG-13 and to remove all the scenes featuring violence and… fingering.

Justin Bieber Debuts Darker Locks

About a year ago, Justin Bieber made headlines when he lopped off his famous locks in favor of a shorter do. Now, almost 12 months later, he’s once again making some hair-related headlines.

So, what has Bieber done now that has everyone buzzing? Well, over the weekend, the Biebs was spotted in Los Angeles donning much darker hair than his trademark sandy blond.

When Bieber cut off his hair last year, MTV News spoke to his hairstylist, Vanessa Price, who told us about his new look, noting that it had a lot to do with Bieber’s growing pains.

“We knew it was going to be a big deal,” Price explained. “We knew it was going to shock fans, but we also knew it was going to be a change in terms of growing up. I think that’s something that people adjust to.

“We’d been talking about it for a while and shared some ideas, but literally the day of he was adamant about the haircut. He amped himself up for it,” Price continued, before describing his momentary hesitation. “The minute we started cutting, he was like, ‘Wait, wait, wait.’ He loves it. He’s enjoying it.”

The new hair color coincides with his girlfriend Selena Gomez’s hairstyle changes. She recently tweeted a photo of herself sporting multi-colored highlights in her hair.

Bieber’s new look may be part of a makeover for his upcoming album,Believe, slated for release later this year. He confirmed last week thatBlack Eyed Peas frontman will.i.am will appear on the album.

Not only does Bieber want to grow up when it comes to his look but also when it comes to his music. “The only conversation we’ve had about Justin’s album that we’re about to do is it’s really important that it’s the proper transition, because we’ve seen him [with] ‘Baby,’ now we’re watching him grow up,” Bieber’s longtime vocal producer Kuk Harrell told MTV News in November. “And we can’t just throw him into the adult game right away. It has to be the proper transition.”
